The present invention relates to integrated circuit.More specifically, the invention provides the switching frequency and the peak current that in response to load, change regulates.As just example, the present invention has been applied to flyback power supply converter.But will recognize, the present invention has range of application widely.
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, the information exchange relevant with the output voltage of power converting system 100 is everlasting in each switch periods and is only sampled once.Switch periods and switching frequency are inversely proportional to, and switching frequency is set to lower to reduce power consumption conventionally when non-loaded or light-load conditions.But if load becomes full load from non-loaded or underload, low switching frequency usually causes the non-constant of dynamic response of power converting system 100.For example, if switching frequency is hundreds of hertz when non-loaded or light-load conditions, the information relevant with the output voltage of power converting system 100 every several milliseconds (msec) is sampled once.For example, if load (becomes full load from non-loaded or underload, output current becomes 1A when full load), output voltage may drop to below acceptable level, this be because for example after several milliseconds next sampling be performed before controller can not respond.A kind of mode of head it off is the switching frequency while increasing non-loaded or light-load conditions.But if switching frequency increases, the peak current of armature winding during non-loaded or light-load conditions should be limited so that output voltage can not surpass acceptable level.However, its switching frequency still can not meet required dynamic response.

ea), comparison signal 451 becomes logic low, thereby makes signal 453 become logic high and make switch 1420 conductings.
In another embodiment, flow through the primary current 1411 of armature winding 1410 by current-sense resistor 1430 sensings, as response, current-sense resistor 1430 for example, to comparator 460,462 and 464 output sensing signals 461 (, the V corresponding with waveform 550

the
signal 453 of terminal is also logic low to make
switch 1420 cut-offs, and no matter
comparison signal 451 is logic high or logic low.In another example, if
logical signal 467 is that logic high and
comparison signal 451 are logic low,
signal 453 is that logic high is so that
switch 1420 conductings.
According to another embodiment, signal 453 is received by gate driver 454, gate driver 454 via terminal 412 for example, to switch 1420 output drive signals 455 (, via terminal 412 to bipolar transistor 1420 output base currents 455).For example, if signal 453 is logic high, drive signal 455 to make switch 1420 closures (for example, be switched on, as shown in waveform 510).In another example, if signal 453 is logic low, drive signal 455 to make switch 720 disconnect (for example, be cut off, as shown in waveform 510).

ea) just become larger, thus make (for example, T deadline of switch 1420
off) become shorter and make switching frequency (for example, F
sw) become higher.According to another embodiment, output loading (for example, output current) is less, amplifying signal 431 (for example, the V corresponding with waveform 530
ea) just become less, thus make (for example, T deadline of switch 1420
off) become longer and make switching frequency (for example, F
sw) become lower, as shown in Fig. 3 (A).
According to another embodiment, logic module 466 comprise or (OR) door and other assembly.For example,, for example, if control signal 475 (, V
p) size be less than threshold signal 465 (for example, V

Figure 10 is according to another embodiment of the present invention for the simplified timing diagram of switched-mode power supply transformation system 700.This diagram is only example, and it should not limit the scope of claim undeservedly.Those skilled in the art will recognize that many variants, substitutions and modifications.Waveform 1002 represents as the output voltage in the primary side of the function of time, and waveform 1004 expressions are as conducting and the cut-off condition of the switch 1420 of the function of time.For example, if waveform 1004 is logic high, switch 1420 closures (for example, conducting), and if waveform 1004 is logic low, switch 1420 disconnects (for example, cut-off).

In one embodiment, at time period T
aduring this time, power converting system 700 has light output loading or non-loaded, and output loading is unchanged.For example, output voltage keeps constant (for example, the size as shown in waveform 1,002 1006).In another example, without the peak current of by-pass cock frequency or armature winding, and switch 1420 has constant switch periods 1010 (for example, the T as shown in waveform 1004
0).
In another embodiment, at time period T
bbeginning, output loading becomes full load from non-loaded or underload.For example, output voltage starts from size 1006 (for example,, at t
1place) fast-descending, but feedback signal 1455 is at t
2can again not be sampled before.Therefore, according to some embodiment, at t
2before, the decline of output voltage may not can be detected.
According to an embodiment, detect delay that output voltage declines may be due to bucking voltage last much longer.For example, offset current 741 terminal 716 of flowing through, and generate the variation that affects feedback signal 1455, as follows:
(formula 9)
Wherein, V
fBrepresent feedback signal 1455, and V
auxthe voltage that represents auxiliary winding 1414.In addition, I
comprepresent offset current 741.R

auxreflected the output voltage in primary side, but due to I
compmake V
fBconventionally can accurately not represent the output voltage in primary side.
For example,, at time period T
bduring this time, although output voltage fast-descending, sampled feedback signal 1455 (for example, V
fB) size may not can change very greatly, and it may keep being greater than reference voltage (for example, V
ref).Therefore, according to some embodiment, amplifying signal (for example, V
ea) can not change very large, and and then the switching frequency of switch 1420 do not regulated rapidly.In another example, offset current 741 responds the change of output loading at leisure, to guarantee the stability of the output in primary side.Therefore, according to some embodiment, at time period T
bduring this time only for example, by monitoring feedback signal 1455 (, V
fB) size the fast-descending of output voltage can not be detected.
According to another embodiment, as shown in figure 10, when the size of feedback signal 1455 drops to a certain degree in response to the quick change of output voltage, the peak current of switching frequency and armature winding may finally be conditioned.For example,, at time period T
cbeginning, the switch periods of switch 1420 is reduced to period 1014 (for example, T from the period 1010
1), the period 1014 is corresponding to the switching frequency increasing.In another example, as response, output voltage is dropping to minimal size 1016 (for example,, at moment t
5place) start afterwards to increase, and continue to increase to size 1012 (for example,, at moment t
6place).
According to another embodiment, switching frequency is increased after the delay that the fast reducing of output voltage is responded.For example, this delay at least comprises the time period T that equals several original switch cycles (for example, three switch periods)
b.Therefore, need a kind of scheme with the peak current of quick dynamically by-pass cock frequency and armature winding that reduces to postpone.

According to another embodiment, by auxiliary winding 1414, extract the information about output voltage.For example, feedback signal 1455 (for example, V
fB) at node 1454 places as shown in figure 11, be generated.In another example, feedback signal 1455 is at least received by demagnetization detector 1512, sampling switch 1502 and voltage change rate detection components 1532.
According to another embodiment, in response to the feedback signal 1455 receiving, demagnetization detector 1512 is to index maker 1510 output signals 1562.For example, index maker 1510 generates following ramp signal 1566 (for example, V

(formula 10)
Wherein, V

refbthe time declining.T is the clock cycle from the clock signal 1558 of oscillator 1514.In addition, τ is time constant.
According to another embodiment, for example, when switch 1420 disconnects (, cut-off), the energy being stored in transformer is released to output.For example, demagnetization process starts, and the electric current of the secondary winding 1412 of flowing through tilts to decline linearly.In another example, when demagnetization process almost finishes, when the electric current of the secondary winding 1412 of flowing through approaches zero, sampling switch 1502 receives sampled signal (for example, pulse signal) and is closed with sampled feedback signal 1455.In another example, after sampling processing completes, sampling switch 1502 disconnects.In another example, institute's sampled voltage is maintained on capacitor 1504, and quilt and reference voltage V
ref(for example, 2V) compare.
According to an embodiment, institute samples/keep voltage and reference voltage V
refdifference by error amplifier 1508, amplified to generate the error signal 1584 (V for example of amplification
ea).For example, the error signal 1584 of amplification is received by the negative input terminal of resistor 1536 and comparator 1516.In another example, resistor 1536 is come together to comparator 1526 output control signals 1586 with resistor 1538 and capacitor 1540.In another example, resistor 1536 and 1538 and capacitor 1540 form compensating networks, this compensating network is carried out conversion process and low-pass filtering and generates control signal 1586 fault in enlargement signal 1584.
According to another embodiment, comparator 1516 also receives ramp signal 1566 (for example, V at positive input terminal place

According to an embodiment, at time period T
dduring this time, power converting system 1100 has light output loading or no-output load, and output loading is unchanged.For example, output voltage keeps constant (for example, being the size 1316 shown in waveform 1302), and output current also keeps constant (for example, being the size 1322 shown in waveform 1308).In another example, voltage change rate detection components 1532 does not surpass first threshold voltage (for example, V in Check processing 1210
th1) any change or process and in 1214, to surpass Second Threshold voltage (for example, V
th2) any change, and the therefore subsignal (for example,, as shown in waveform 1310) of the low level signal 1550 of formation logic or signal 1550.In another example, at time period T
dduring this time, in response to the signal 1550 of logic low or a subsignal of signal 1550, for the processing 1212 of the peak current of dynamic adjustments switching frequency or armature winding with process 1216 and be not performed.
In addition, according to another embodiment, at time period T
dduring this time, switch 1420 keeps constant switch periods 1312 (for example, the T as shown in waveform 1304
2).For example, logic high indicator cock 1420 closures (for example, conducting) as shown in waveform 1304, and the logic low indicator cock as shown in waveform 1,304 1420 disconnects (for example, cut-off).In addition, according to another embodiment, flow through armature winding (for example, winding 1410) primary current (for example, primary current 1411) for example, by current-sense resistor (, resistor 1430) sensing, as response, its output sensing signal (for example, V corresponding with waveform 1306

dduring this time, if for example, switch 1420 closures (, conducting), primary current tilts to rise linearly, tilts to rise to size 1326, thereby make sensing signal linearity as shown in the crest in waveform 1306.
In one embodiment, at time period T
ebeginning, output loading becomes full load from non-loaded or underload.For example, as response, output voltage is from time period T
esize 1316 fast-descendings of beginning (for example, linearly or non-linearly) are to time period T
ethe size 1318 of ending place.In addition, in another example, at time period T
eduring this time, output current increases to size 1324 fast from size 1322.
In another embodiment, at time to approach section T
eending place time, switch 1420 closures (for example, as shown in the rising edge of waveform 1304), and then switch 1420 disconnects (for example, as shown in the trailing edge of waveform 1304), and demagnetization process starts.For example, when demagnetization process almost finishes, feedback signal 1455 is carried out current sampling by voltage change rate detection components 1532 in processing 1204.In another example, the current feedback signal sampling in processing 1210 by with last switch periods during the feedback signal previously having sampled compare.According to some embodiment, if surpassing the amount of the current feedback signal sampling, the size of the feedback signal previously having sampled is no less than first threshold voltage (for example, V
th1), voltage change rate detection components 1532 detects and recognizes this state of fast reducing of output voltage.Therefore, from the signal 1550 of voltage change rate detection components 1532 or a subsignal of signal 1550 at time period T
fbeginning from logic low, become logic high (as shown in the rising edge of waveform 1310).The size of the current feedback signal sampling surpasses the amount of the feedback signal previously having sampled and is for example no less than, in Second Threshold voltage (, V in another embodiment

2) be reduced to cycle 1314 (for example, the T as shown in waveform 1304
3).In another example, the increase of the peak current of armature winding makes the peak value of sensing signal increase (for example, increasing to the size 1328 as shown in waveform 1306).
In addition, according to another embodiment, at time period T
fduring this time, as response, output voltage reverts to the peak current (for example,, as shown in waveform 1302) that increases switching frequency and armature winding.For example, output voltage is from time period T
fthe size 1318 of beginning increases to size 1320, and then at time period T
fremainder keep size 1320.In another example, size 1320 equals size 1316.As shown in figure 13, according to some embodiment, the delay of the peak current of by-pass cock frequency and armature winding is approximately time period T
e, it for example, than original switch cycle 1312 (, T
2) much shorter.For example, compare with Figure 10, the delay of adjusting is significantly reduced.
In another embodiment, at time period T
gbeginning, output voltage has kept size 1320 to reach several switch periods (for example, four switch periods).For example, voltage change rate detection components 1532 is changed into logic low (as shown in the trailing edge of waveform 1310) by a subsignal of signal 1550 or signal 1550 from logic high.According to an embodiment, as response, in processing 1218, dynamically strengthen logic control assembly 1534 output signals to reduce the peak current of switching frequency and armature winding.For example, the switch periods of switch 1420 is increased to cycle 1330 (for example, the T as shown in waveform 1304
4).In another example, the peak current of primary current reduce make the crest of sensing signal be reduced to the size 1332 as shown in waveform 1306.In another example, at time period T
fduring this time, output voltage and output current remain on respectively size 1320 and big or small 1324 places.
